teach pronunciation in med school?
how in the heck does one become a doctor and pronounce things like:
ex-zeffer (that is, Effexor)
cla-mit-tra-zol (rather clotrimazole)
tur-bun-ins (how about turbinates!!)
makes me crazy...er.
I would think the school could fire him if he can't effectively teach- sm
and the kids take advantage, etc. It is for his own good as well as everyone else that he can hear. They make hearing aids so small now, vanity is a big price to pay for not being able to hear. I would think though that the school would have good cause to can him though IF he does not try to work to the best of his ability and if hearing aids help him to work better than he needs to do it, no one is going to make fun of him for wearing them (he's a big boy anyway I'm sure he could take what the kids can dish out), I would think he'd have more trouble from the kids without them. Good luck in making him see sense.
teach and guide, start my own school? sm
I guess then they should take the Word Board off if teaching and guiding is a "no no?" Difference between teaching and just telling somebody something they can look up for themselves.
Yeah I am into books! Not too slow if you know what you are doing! Still do 250-300 lph with accuracy which is more than I can say for your post.
Call a local school or program and ask. I was asked if I wanted to teach when I
s
maybe not "back to school", but maybe a class or something sm
like a training/refresher course! Sheesh, I was just askin'! 
The high school class took a graduation trip sm
to Aruba. I guess every parent that let their child go on the graduation trip was in bad judgement. There are many HS trips out of the country. Please get a grip.
I was taught two spaces in high school typing class
places want only one space. BOS (pg 66, 2nd Ed) says either/or but be consistent, and that it is usually is set by company/client, but I've definitely noticed that most MTSOs want only one space and that's how I always do it now.
It was a graduation trip with the high school class. There were chaperones but evidently sm
she went out on her own, but for you the blame the parents and victims dosen't make sense. Go back to your rocking chair and rock on.
Union County High School; Blairsville, Georgia (class of 81)
POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
Sunday's the day
Received an e-mail that Fox News had started the boycott, and not to buy gas on Sundays. The e-mail I received was not date specific.
Every Sunday
I work 9 hours every Sunday, but this was the schedule that I created.
those who can't do....teach
There is a HUGE difference between reading what someone else has already deciphered versus being the one who is deciphering it at 140 words per minute. The bottom line is that we all make mistakes because we are paid on production - not because we are ignorant or guessing or whatever unprofessional nonsense they choose to call it. As for the comment about not spelling physician names correctly (cities, schools, etc.), we do not get paid by the hour to search for these things - QA people do or they are getting paid for lines they do not type to compensate their time. There is no cause for unprofessionalism or personal attacks. I do not appreciate commentary. I don't appreciate remarks about punctuation, grammar etc. particulary when it comes from someone who doesn't understand what an independent clause is, a complete sentence and so on. Passing on their infinite wisdom because it is what they "were taught" isn't valid - back it up and I don't mean with the BOS, which basically boils down to someone else's opinion. I find the QA people contradict themselves left and right, contradict each other, contradict the account manager and most importantly contradict account specifics, and some contradict the doctors themselves. Very few have come across my path that were friendly, helpful or even knowledgeable. They just often have misplaced confidence in "understanding" the word no else can...I find it better to err on the side of caution if it is a word of substance; if it is not, move on. Perhaps, QA should respectfully mentor the newbies, give feedback to MTs who make repeated mistakes and otherwise take a supporting role in helping MTs to produce quality documents, instead of getting into a p1ssing contest.
How do you teach someone s/m
who has been typing since age 16 to now only put 1 space after a period instead of 2? That's going to take a LONG time to break that habit.
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school
nm
some one should teach them grammar
nm
it changed on sunday. my question is does this mean mq has given up
on lowering the line rate for "editing" now that they have given up the "correction" and put everything under transcription and what does "clerical" mean when you go for line count? also QA and QC. aren't they both the same?
Most companies are wanting a Sunday through
Thursday schedule, Tuesday through Saturday, so you would still be working 5 days, but would always be working 1 w/e day. If you just rotate weekends it depends on the company what days you would have off during the week, whether they would dictate the days you took off or you would be able to choose.
I only saw the first few minutes Sunday night.
It was a repeat. I will try not to give to much away. They were having an affair. She was about to tell him she was pregnant but he told her that they should cool things for awhile, so he doesn't know she is pregnant. Much more happens after this. I don't know if next week's episode is going to be new or not. Let me know if you need more info. I am hooked also.
Just got back from Disney on Sunday
at the Polynesian resort. We stayed there last year. Stayed at Grand Floridian this year (courtesy of in-laws). We had the Disney Dining plan, 1 counter service, 1 table service, and 1 snack per person per day. We found it worked out to be a good deal for us.
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!

I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
11 o'clock p.m. is still Sunday, and third shift
can vary with company, depending on if they are on one coast and you are on another. I have been offered a 3rd shift job, but can start at 9:00 p.m. based on the time differences in our locations.
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website?  It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast). 
The cost of running a private school or any school is expensive....
Why do you think public schools are so run down and can't find good teachers? Because the government and people to not put forth the effort or $$$$ to improve the educational system.
I teach classes online.

What was wrong with trying to teach them when they were young?
I learned to dust, wash dishes, clean my room, etc., when I was about 5 years old, and it was part of our routine. Every week our chores would rotate and as we got old, we learned more. Same thing with cooking. You obviously let this go too long but now is the time to change it, not when you have a nervous breakdown.
There are schools that teach you the business in about...
6 or 8 weeks, not quite sure. But the idea of expressing anal glands on the dog just sickens me. I love dogs, but I couldn't do that nasty little detail. no way, no how.
We teach people how to treat us - I would not put up with this.
It seems this arrangement no longer works with your schedule. If they say they need the work now and you cannot do that any longer then you need to let them know why. Best of luck to you.
I think it is all about your beliefs and what you teach the kids...sm
We do let our kids trick or treat, as stated before. However, it is all just for fun (and candy) for them. I think it is all about what you teach your kids. I see what you are saying about Christmas, I actually can't stand it when people celebrate Christmas who don't believe in God and Jesus. But I guess someone could say the same thing about me (for "celebrating"Halloween without "believing" in what it stands for). I think I am confusing myself!!! All I think that matters is what YOU believe and what you are teaching your children.
However, now that this subject has come up, I am going to do some more research on Halloween and possibly consider the idea of a "fall harvest party" or something like that. I do like that idea, so thanks for letting me explore other ideas!!! I never thought that deeply about getting free candy from the neighbors!!

Teach a newbie to fish
I don't think it helps them. I started looking at the Word Help board after I read a post earlier this evening about the low-level questions newbies are wanting answers for. One was something like "vigomatic...this is somewhere on the head." Are you KIDDING??? I couldn't believe it. I think it would serve this person much better to give him/her some ideas on how to find the answer rather than to just give the answer away. Just giving the answer away is not really helping them learn anything. It's just letting them copy your homework.
What's that saying? Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
In the earlier discussion I mentioned, someone thought posting on the board (in a virtual situation) was the same thing as asking a teacher for an answer in a classroom situation. Well, I think a great teacher in a classroom situation would do the same thing; i.e., point the student toward the dictionary or the encyclopedia or whatever, not just give away the answer.
I really have to wonder how someone can end up as a working transcriber & not know, or at least have been exposed to, the word "zygomatic" at some point. How did this person get a job? Scary, especially considering how protective we are of our field and how much better at it we think we are than anyone else on the planet.
There are no shortcuts. Every great working Transcriptionist has had to look everything up, has had to go through the unbearable period when getting through one report was like swimming through concrete. Are newbies these days under the impression that there is another way? Because there isn't.
QA should be used to teach and aid in the process of MT'ing sm
Not to pick apart and make the MT feel inadequate. Does it really matter if there is a comma missing....not really. The report still reads the same and is a technical document.
QA should be friendly and helpful, at least that is how I try to be in my QA position. We are in this together not against each other. We have the same purpose....to make sure that patient has the most accurate record possible. We all should work as a team, in my most humble opinion.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off. Big old brain cramp here!
I got lucky this year. Scheduled off is Sunday. :)
Not so lucky last year. I took on this job knowing that my scheduled work days were just that, holiday or not, and I've never minded.
I do ask for time off well in advance if I want it and the 2 companies I work for have never had a problem.
every sunday regularly; probably 2 sats a month

Hey Snow Bunny, did you get through the storms okay on Sunday? sm
I hope you and your family are okay.
I teach and I make 20.00 per hour. Not that great
but nothing to sneeze at either. I teach community service classes (medical transcription, anatomy physiology and medical terminology) at a local college.
I get the no deodorant part - but what did his mother teach him?? (sm)
May be an old wives' tale, but I've always heard that if you never start wearing deodorant, you'll never need it.
FINALLY got it - Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! THANKS!!
I DO call you a crook. Do you teach your kids

Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Any Sopranos fans out there waiting for the big return on Sunday?
Can't wait.
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!
What about where you are?!
I teach literacy classes. Do it. You'll be glad you did.
.
No, what's sent work overseas is cheap schools that don't teach SM
properly, churning out hoards of MTs who will undercut the good ones and then turn out terrible work.
It's real. 100%. I used to teach this so email me with any questions. I will give you both the sm
good and the bad about the business. It's all completely real and you can do it from home.
Okay... do they no longer teach proofing your document before you send it?? (sm)
PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS(ES): Left food wet gangrene, status post above-knee amputation on.
Actual copy and paste..... I have no words for this at all.
Okay... do they no longer teach proofing your document before you send it??
Maybe some few isolated case...
